"Animethon and ASAPA would like to express our deepest condolences and thoughts to those who have been affected by the earthquake and tsunami that recently hit Japan. This touches our hearts because of the fandome and community that has been created by Japanese Animation. We hope the best for the survivors and that those missing are found. Please, lets come together and help those in need."

It's the Ides of March and the new website is live!
ASAPA is pleased to be up and running in our new webspace, and we're looking forward to hosting another great Animethon. You can head on over to the new website for all of the details - http://www.animethon.org/.
We're going to be continuing to run the old PHPBB boards for a little while, but we'll be transitioning over to a new board system. Details will be posted soon.
